This is a great interview and truly, wonderful news! Especially the part about Compassion’s commitment not to take “Jesus” out of our tagline or out of our ministry…I would guess that Jesus has been taken out of many of these ministries long before the name is removed. Congratulations to child #1 million and to his bright future!

What a wonderful interview! This is why we sponsor 2 children with Compassion. After looking at other Christian sponsor programs and reading that you can’t share Jesus’ name with your sponsored child, I thought how sad. I was happy to see that Compassion is committed to sharing the Love of God in Jesus name.

Mark, you did such a great job articulating the heart of Compassion! I am so proud to be a contributor to this organization. I was also impressed with the news reporter here. She asked some great questions and really seemed to have done her research. Great interview!

This is truly awesome. That is the very reason that we sponsored with Compassion. It’s all about Jesus isn’t it. I am so thankful to be able to share my faith in Jesus and to write to the children how much Jesus loves them. If we couldn’t …. please don’t ever consider changing. God Will Bless Compassion for honoring His name.We are blessed to be apart of this awesome ministry. Thank you for not changing your stand.

If we died with him,
we will also live with him;
if we endure,
we will also reign with him.
If we disown him,
he will also disown us;
if we are faithfulless,
he will remain faithful,
for he cannot disown himself.
We believe that God will bless Compassion more than ever and maybe we will see two million sponsored child.
Way to go Compassion!!

acts 4:12 “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”

I am a compassion recipient from Philippines. lets give back all the glory and honor in His name “Jesus” for His word says in Colossians 3:17 “And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.”
God bless Compassion International!!

Meant to reply to this sooner but haven’t. If Compassion took Christ out of its name, I think we would loose a big part of our identity. I sponsor through a couple of other organizations – one a local one set up by a friend and one a larger,well-known one. With the one set up by my friend, I am allowed to, and encouraged to share about Jesus, as it is with Compassion. With the larger one, we are not supposed to unless our sponsor children being it up. As my children age out of the program, I will slowly wind down my sponsorships, as I prefer to support the programs that allow me to share my faith, as Compassion and JNFC allow me to do.

I sponsor with Compassion because of their dedication to releasing children from poverty in Jesus name and their unwillingness to remove the focus from Jesus. I find I can share more passionately about Compassion because of the work they do in Christ’s name. I am so glad that Compassion will not change their identity to fit in with secular culture. Bravo to Compassion for standing in the gap and keeping Christ at the centre of what they do, in a culture that all to often wants to push him to the edge or out of the picture completely.
